ALBUM REVIEWS: Eminem MMLP2

ALBUM REVIEWS: Eminem MMLP2
I Love Hip Hop Blog - Eminem has once again cause an uproar and has the media buzzing about his latest album “The Marshall Mathers LP 2″. Every website, blog, entertainment new is talking about the forever controversial artist. We gather together the best reviews of the album from various sources, check them out:
“Once the bravest visionary in rap’s underworld, Eminem spends much of MMLP2 gazing into the past, reworking early tricks and wading in nostalgia rather than forging a fresh path.
That’s only a minor disappointment considering the undimmed power of Eminem’s earlier works and the fact that he’s sharpened his tongue and his skill set.”
“Production-wise, Eminem strives in the comfort of soundscapes reminiscent of earlier work and strengthens his comical side by exploring vintage hits by the Zombies, Wayne Fontana & the Mindbenders and Billy Squier.”
“Rap God” is a gobstopping display of Eminem’s champion technical prowess that’s waylaid in every verse by brazen homophobia. “Love Game”, the hotly anticipated team up with Kendrick Lamar, is similarly assailed by lunkheaded chauvinism, both in Eminem’s gross rendition of a woman giving him oral sex and Kendrick’s barbs about a guy who “drowned like an abortion” and a clingy ex for whom “chlamydia couldn’t even get rid of her.” Elsewhere two songs are dedicated to crucifying the mother of his children and anyone else foolhardy enough to get involved with him.”
“Much like everyone, I went into listening to The Marshall Mathers LP 2 with little expectations of it living up to the original– which was one of my personal favorite albums of all time. Upon multiple listens I can safely say my expectations were wrong. Not only does Eminem‘s MMLP2 live up to the first, but it’s some of the best work Eminem has ever recorded.”
“Yet Em’s former obsession – his own media image – has been replaced with a 41-year-old’s cranky concerns. He’s still a solipsistic cretin, but in a more general, everyday sort of way. He raps about how he can’t figure out how to download Luda on his computer and waves the Nineties-geek flag with references to Jeffrey Dahmer and the Unabomber. He’s playing his best character: the demon spawn of Trailer Hell, America, hitting middle age with his middle finger up his nose while he cleans off the Kool-Aid his kids spilled on the couch.”
